Una LaMarche: Project Runway Finale Recap Part Two

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:14:44 +0000

And so, my friends, it has come to this. As Boyz II Men sang so soulfully, we've come to the end of the road. Or, the runway, I guess. Which means we're about to fall off into the lap of the Malaysian Prime Minister, if Zoolander is to be believed. Put on your best vagina dress and grab a cocktail, y'all -- it's time to finish this bitch. Previously on: Charming Southern belle Carol Hannah, icy New York princess Irina, and vapid Ohioan Althea made it to the final three, and are so drama-deficient that the primary story-lines going into the finale are that Althea "copies" Irina--which is obviously not even true -- and that Carol Hannah might vomit herself to death. Funny aside: I saw my mom last weekend, and she's all, "I turned on ProjRun this week and I couldn't tell what the hell was going on, so I turned it off. But that Carol Hannah, she doesn't look good. There's something wrong with her." I should make a companion to the ShitMyDadSays Twitter feed. We're in New York, two days before ...

A Ho-Hum Last Night on the Runway

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:16:27 +0000

By Jennifer Kelly If a network acquires a show that was taped almost a year ago and it airs the finale, did the season ever really happen? I just couldn’t get fully invested in “Project Runway” this time around, and I blame the delay, among other things. After all, fashion should be current by its very definition. (I should know; I shop at fashionista-friendly Target and once worked at the cutting edge house of style known as the Gap.) One thing the finale had going for it, though, was that it was back in New York. And, let’s face it; the Big Apple is really the h...

'Project Runway' 6 Winner: Why Mean-a Irina?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:47:46 +0000

There might be a lot of viewers who were troubled by how Irina Shabayeva acted on the sixth season of Project Runway . It was even more devastating for some when this season's villain won the competition. But it never really was a question of behavior on the show; it was of skill. We've been raised to believe that good triumphs over evil most of the time. Unfortunately, that usually occurs in fairy tales. In reality television, meanwhile, there are plenty of times the baddies get what they want. The world's not just black and white, and a little color's always encouraged in Project Runway.

Irina Shabayeva: Winner of 'Project Runway' Season 6

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:53:46 +0000

After months of oddball challenges, tension in the workroom, and tears on the catwalk, the highly anticipated finale of Project Runway 6 has come. And now it's over. All that boils down to one thing though: the woman who will take home the much-coveted prize. In this case, we're talking about Irina Shabayeva. Many believed it was a tough competition when the three finalists - Irina, Althea and Carol Hannah - showed off their collections in Bryant Park. With 13 looks each up on the runway, it seemed impossible to predict who would emerge victorious.

Tim Gunn Hints at 'Project Runway' Season 7

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:02:48 +0000

It's finale night tomorrow for Project Runway , but of course the designing madness doesn't end there. Another season will soon premiere, introducing us to a quirky new batch of designers with (hopefully) out-of-this-world fashions. And what better way to find out about the show's seventh installment than to hear it straight from Tim Gunn? On an interview with the Los Angeles Times , the fashion guru revealed what's in store for the show next year and looked back on the challenges this season had to face. There's the move from New York to LA, as well as the move from Bravo to Lifetime. With that comes the move from season 6 to 7 as well.

'The Biggest Loser' Review: I'm Giving You A Makeover

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:57:17 +0000

The past couple of weeks on The Biggest Loser has been a little bit about the game, of people getting bitten because of overplaying it, and people who do the same thing despite the warnings. But that gets banished tonight, sort of: it's makeover week! Perfect time to look at the six remaining contestants in a different way, from people who are constantly sweaty after their workouts, to those who exude confidence... but still have to be sweaty after their workouts. This season's makeovers are courtesy of Tim Gunn, who we all know from Project Runway, and Tabatha Coffey, who we all know from, well, Tabatha's Salon Takeover. The makeovers are necessary: they have to do some motivational speeches at an event, so why go out there and talk about stuff looking your worst, right? It's actually funny seeing that Rudy was really, really, reeeally excited for makeover week. (I expected the reaction from Rebecca, but hey, I'll take what I can get.) The appearance was a quick one, however, because the ...

'Chef Academy'

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 08:00:00 +0000

Bravo tries a slightly different recipe on the cooking-competition genre. > Like Motown Records in the 1960s, Bravo is a network that likes to find a thing that works -- a "real housewife," say -- and do it again and again, with slight variations, until it doesn't. "Top Chef," which, with the departure of "Project Runway" to Lifetime, is the jewel in the network's reality-competition crown, Professional Domestic Arts Division, has already given birth to "Top Chef Masters," with a "Top Chef: Just Desserts" and the tentatively titled "Top Chef Junior" in the pipeline, or the oven, as the metaphor may more aptly be.

Christian Siriano Remembers Lady Gaga Before She Was Famous

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:14:00 +0000

'She called me up and she said, 'I need something to wear on the 'Today' show,' the 'Project Runway' winner recalls. By Jocelyn Vena Christian Siriano Photo: MTV News Back in December 2008, Lady Gaga was just a burgeoning pop star whose wild sense of style was only beginning to emerge. So, for her appearance on the "Today" show last year, she knew just who she wanted to help her get the right look for her big interview: "Project Runway" winner Christian Siriano. "I mean, I always have to say my fun story was I got to dress Gaga before anyone really got to her, which I think is interesting," Siriano told MTV News when he stopped by to chat about his book, "Fierce Style." "Not that she's someone to get to, but I remember it was [about] a year ago ... and it was her first appearance on the 'Today' show, when 'Just Dance' just came out. It was the first single." Siriano recalls meeting with the singer and working on the shirt she would wear on the program : a ...
